Voters across the country are casting ballots in the 2026 midterm elections, which will help determine control of Congress during President Donald Trump’s final two years in office, alongside federal, state and local contests. High-profile Senate races include Mississippi, Georgia and Texas, while gubernatorial races are underway in Georgia, Texas, Alabama and Tennessee. In Alabama, Republican Tommy Tuberville and Democrat Doug Jones are competing to succeed term-limited Gov. Kay Ivey; voters in Alabama and Tennessee are also deciding constitutional amendments. Texas reported more than 7.7 million early voters, exceeding its 2018 midterm early-voting share, while Mississippi received 116,453 absentee ballots—about 2.5 times the number received by the same point in 2022. Polling hours and identification rules vary by state, and live coverage includes results and local voter guidance.
